per-user automount does not necessarily waste space
IMHO automount is completely independent of shared / separate per user
disk space.
The thing which is mounted might be a sub-directory of a shared space.
Agreed.
Also, automount is not exclusively for user home directories. It's great
for selected program products.
ABSOLUTELY agreed.
I've got nearly half a dozen auto-mounts on a number of systems, only
one of which is the home directory.
I've even got automount managing /boot on Linux. It doesn't need to be
mounted all the time. If it's not mounted, it's a lot more difficult to
get corrupted.
N.B. automount doesn't protect against file access / deletion /
modification as automounts design goal is to mount the necessary file
system to enable said A/D/M. Much like RAID is not a backup.
